<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements F-26<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>20</strong>10 on <strong>Form</strong> <strong>20</strong>-F 01 – Significant Accounting Policies<br />

If there is evidence of impairment, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are<br />

recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the period, reported in net gains (losses) on financial<br />

assets available for sale. This amount is determined as the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any<br />

principal repayments and amortization) and current fair value of the asset less any impairment loss on that<br />

investment previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income.<br />

When an AFS debt security is impaired, any subsequent decreases in fair value are recognized in the<br />

consolidated statement of income as it is considered further impairment. Any subsequent increases are also<br />

recognized in the consolidated statement of income until the asset is no longer considered impaired. When the<br />

fair value of the AFS debt security recovers to at least amortized cost it is no longer considered impaired and<br />

subsequent changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income.<br />

Reversals of impairment losses on equity investments classified as AFS are not reversed through the consolidated<br />

statement of income; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized in other comprehensive<br />

income.<br />

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities<br />

Financial Asset Derecognition<br />

A financial asset is considered for derecognition when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial<br />

asset expire, or the Group has either transferred the contractual right to receive the cash flows from that asset,<br />

or has assumed an obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more recipients, subject to certain criteria.<br />

The Group derecognizes a transferred financial asset if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of<br />

ownership.<br />

The Group enters into transactions in which it transfers previously recognized financial assets but retains<br />

substantially all the associated risks and rewards of those assets; for example, a sale to a third party in which<br />

the Group enters into a concurrent total return swap with the same counterparty. These types of transactions<br />

are accounted for as secured financing transactions.<br />

In transactions in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset are neither<br />

retained nor transferred, the Group derecognizes the transferred asset if control over that asset is not retained,<br />

i.e., if the transferee has the practical ability to sell the transferred asset. The rights and obligations retained in<br />

the transfer are recognized separately as assets and liabilities, as appropriate. If control over the asset is<br />

retained, the Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, which is<br />

determined by the extent to which it remains exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset.
